  • Thought the floods might give it away. Didn't think the strips would. This match is Oldham Vs Southport in 1962. There has been 113 different scorelines in 136 years of football. This is the only

😅 very good, that made me :lol: out loud

I think that's the first time, you've said something as funny as you look

Blinding picture though, you can smell the decay... can you score rebounds off those walls?

Be amazed if anyone gets this 

Saw this picture on a twitter feed or similar in the last couple of days 

Not surprised it was closed and the club concerned moved to their current ground in the 1930s - looks a proper death trap 

The grounds name was very appropriate given the clubs nickname but without seeing the twitter link I would have had absolutely no idea

Is the correct answer

Lucky guess?

Just looked it up, got the valley bottom bit right... it was in the bottom of a quarry... looks great

Didnt even know Norwich existed before Jeremy Goss.

It was the building that New Brighton Tower (think a slightly smaller Blackpool Tower) was built from.

I can't place a picture on here, but it's on this ...

The Tower was demolished in 1920.  The building, hotel & ballroom, in 1969.

Apparently so - Was for a long time the biggest sports stadium in Northern England - on a par with the Crystal Palace 

Have seen figures of 100,000 capacity quoted in some articles 

Get a better idea as to its size from picture below
